Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This ensures the ham cooks evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the ham

    Place the whole ham in a large roasting pan. Make shallow cuts in a diamond pattern on the surface of the ham.

  3. 3

    Mix the glaze

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and cloves until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Apply the glaze

    Spread the glaze mixture evenly over the surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.

  2. 5

    Add liquids

    Pour pineapple juice and water into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the ham moist during cooking.

  3. 6

    Bake the ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

  4. 7

    Glaze during baking

    Remove the foil in the last 30 minutes of cooking and baste the ham with the juices from the pan every 10 minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Rest and slice

    Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Slice the ham and serve warm with your choice of sides.
